Timeline

Our Journey

Li Hongzhang

Chang’an’s early origins can be traced back to 1862 when Li Hongzhang set up a military supply factory, the Shanghai Foreign Gun Bureau.

In 1959 a predecessor entity, Chongqing Chang’an Arsenal, under contract to the government, began auto manufacturing and built Changjiang Type 46 vehicle which was the first production vehicle of China. Changan introduced minicar by licensing from Suzuki.

In 2009, Changan acquired two smaller domestic automakers, Hafei and Changhe.

In 2010 Chang’an became the fourth most-productive car manufacturer in the Chinese automobile industry by selling 2.38 million units.

The company also released a new logo for its consumer offerings in 2010 while commercial production retains the former red-arch brand.

In November 2012, Changan Ford Mazda Automobile was divided into two new joint venture companies: Changan Ford and Changan Mazda

In 2013, Changhe was transferred to Jiangxi provincial government for restructuring, and later became a majority-owned subsidiary of another Chinese automaker BAIC Group.
